Hudson Hills Golf Course

course in good condition but its very tight and tough to play

I played on August 3, 2014. Teed off at 11 a.m., finished at 4 p.m. Course was in nice condition, except for the greens. The greens on many holes are peppered with ball marks, both repaired and unrepaired.

Very challenging course, as shots slightly astray can result in major problems. Plateaued greens make approach shots especially challenging/fun.

The staff is very professional. I ordered lunch at the turn and the young lady offered to drive my order out to me so as not to delay play. Although a had a two group wait anyway on the 10th tee box, it was a nice gesture.

In summary, not a course for a recreational golfer without patience and etiquette. If you've got an A game, you need it here.

The location of this course is why I play often here. Greens are sub par. I doubt they have been rolled once this year. The fact that this westchester county course is $85 to play on a weekend when the other 4 county courses are no more then $60 is outrageous. The price would be justified if the course was maintained well.

On the plus side its a challenging course and fun to play from the (7,100 yard) tips also better to play during the week in the afternoons as the green fees are $30 after 5pm and the course is not very crowded.

Stopped here on a trip home from Connecticut and hadn't reserved with GolfNow in advance due to threatening storms. When we arrived everyone was at the clubhouse because of lightening, but the storm was passing and they anticipated resumed play in a half hour. We made our reservation thru GolfNow while in the clubhouse to get the $85pp rather than their $115pp with no problem. Staff was wonderful and very friendly & helpful. They started us out on the 3rd hole as a twosome so we would be ahead of three foursomes with no one in front of us. Staff led us out to the 3rd tee and was very helpful describing the course. The GPS equipment on the cart was a great feature, since we were not familiar with the course. It was a real help as there are several blind holes . The pace was quick from 3 thru 9, but slowed significantly on 11 thru 18 because of slow play in front of us. Although the cheerful ranger was constantly around on the front 9, we had hoped he'd show up on the back 9 and hustle the slow groups in front of us to no avail. After 18, we went back and finished holes 1 & 2. The course was challenging but excellent even for an intermediate player like myself. It was in great shape and we enjoyed nice elevations and great views throughout the course.

Many hidden greens and deep rough off narrow fairways. The cart GPS helps but still wont see where many of your tee shots land. Well groomed course. Great staff. Will play again.

Terrible layout, silly set up. Greens were slow and tons of ball marks.

Extremely challenging for a county course, lives up to the 129 slope with narrow fairways and not many flat lies. The course punishes you severely for small errors with your ball rolling into waste areas easily. Not a course for the usual county player. If you can't hit straight with accuracy this will be a long round. But for county course the conditions of fairways, tees and greens was great.

Challenging course with many blind shots. Beginner golfers may find course difficult

I play Hudson Hills regularly on weekends. From the minute my friends and I stop at the Bag Drop we are treated like we belong too a private club. We are always greeted by at least one and sometimes two people out front who make sure that we are paired and ready to play on or about our scheduled tee time. 90% of the time we are on the tee and ready to play at our booked time. Yes, there have been a few times we were delayed but the staff does there best to keep things in order.

The golf course is difficult. We play from the blue tees which are similar to the white tees at most other courses. We have found that the par 4's and 5's give us all we can handle from there. There are 5 par 3's of short to medium length and are not all that difficult but boy those par 4's are long...many to elevated greens. The greens and fairways are in excellent condition. The rough is pretty severe and should be cut more often.

At the end of play we are treated to a very attentive staff who are dedicated to providing us with top notch service. Our clubs are cleaned and placed on the rack ready to be picked up in a matter of minutes. It is always an enjoyable experience at Hudson Hills.

Was a tough course. Use irons more. Blind spot drives. Overall, great course. Wind on back 9 can change the entire round. No driving range.

I understand that public golf courses want to book as many tee times as possible per hour, but when there are so many that a reserved tee time is 20 minutes behind, shameful.
The starter apologized and did the best he could. Also, where has golfers common sense of fairness gone? The group in front of our 9:48 tee time was so slow, that " while we're young" did not effect them...would not occur to let a faster group play through...where are the course marshalls?
The bunker conditions are terrible, spend some time raking them and put sand inside of the traps....
The rough is too high for public play, why not have a first and second cut of rough to speed up play?
There is no divot repair or ball mark repair on the greens....
All of this for $ 85... no bargain...this is a $ 45 green fee at best....

Course not in the shape I am accustomed to playing it, the blind spots beat you up from the tee box, but still had good time. Pace was good, if you never played it before it is well worth it.

The Good:
Played on a Sun, 10:24 tee time. Perfect weather with a few buddies on a friend's birthday. Ready for a great day.
The Bad: The starter calls 10:23, and thinking he made he a minor mistake, I say right here, 10:24. He says no, 10:23. My friend says to me, maybe he meant 10:33? No again. Starter (Steve?) says there was a compluter glitch, don't shoot the messenger! and gave us an attitude. So, the tee times were a minute apart??? He took the twosome behind us and paired them with twosome ahead, and with the 'new' group squeezed in, we didn't tee off until 10:50.
The Course: Overall, in good shape as it should be with the rain, rough is juicy and greens were rolling nicely. I had a couple drives I thought were perfect end up in ankle deep rough, <1 ft off the fairway. Ever heard of a first cut? As an earlier review mentioned, the green on #14 is a sitting duck for drives hit right off #4. Holes 2,15,16,17 all run parrallel, get ready to take cover.
The Price: $115 to play w/o a pass, I'll pay half that and take my 5 hour and 20 min round to Bethpage Black.

Hudson Hills is a beautiful, though often tough track. Lots of hidden greens and difficult sidehill or up and down-hill lies await you. But the rewards make it worth the struggle.

The course was beautiful and well maintained. The rough was thick and dense so if you missed the fairway, you were in trouble if you were even able to find your ball.

Great course but poor at sending out complete 4 somes. Me and my friend were a 2 some in front of us was a single in front of him was a. 3 some which causes slow play could not get any flow to round waited to play on most holes

course is in in good condition. we have perfect weather and course is no busy. best round of golf so far this year for me.

Each hole is very interesting. No boring holes. Really enjoyed except pace of play.

The one knock on this course is pace of play which is not the course's fault, it's the players who are selfish and don't care about other golfers which is a shame since this is a stellar facility. The staff is the best I have dealt with on a course and are all 5 star human beings who really do care about the customer. Play here and get to the staff and you will be very happy you came here.

I have played this course a few times in the past. it is a long and tough course that never disappoints. As of 4/14/14, the course still needed some work after the brutal winter, but i am confident that the grounds crew will get it there. i payed $45 to play it, so thats crazy cheap for this course.
The carts are second to none. They have GPS and are electric. They also slow down when you are off the cart path on path only holes. The carts also alert you to where others are on the blind shot holes.
